Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has addressed comparisons with Blues legends Claude Makelele and N’Golo Kante, urging fans to allow him to carve his own legacy at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, the Ecuadorian international humbly downplayed the parallels drawn between him and the iconic midfield duo.

“They won a lot of things for Chelsea, and I didn’t do anything yet,” Caicedo admitted.

“But they did a lot of things, so I just try to watch some videos of them, to learn how they played midfield and a bit of their personality. And I think I’m doing well, but they did a lot here. For sure, I didn’t do anything yet. But I want to reach what they achieved.”

Despite admiring their achievements, Caicedo emphasised his individuality as a player.

He went on: “Yeah, every player is different. They were my idols… they are my idols! Sometimes I watch their videos to learn more, but I’m Moises Caicedo, and I want to write my own history, and that’s what I’m doing.”

While respectful of Makelele and Kante’s legacy, the 22-year-old is determined to establish his unique contribution to Chelsea’s future success.
